The Excalibur was designed as "clone" [1] of the Quad City Challenger II aircraft. The company took the basic Challenger design and incorporated many changes, including mounting the engine upright allowing larger propellers and the Rotax gearbox to be mounted, lengthening the tailboom and enlarging the tail vertical surface to increase stability, shortening the ailerons and replacing control ...
Its wingspan was 95 ft 9 in (29.18 m), its length was 82 ft 6 in (25.15 m), and its projected maximum speed was in the 250–280 mph (400–450 km/h) range. Several variants were proposed, to accommodate different passenger loads. The original Excalibur design envisioned a 21-passenger payload, with a 240 mph (390 km/h) cruising speed.
The SA26 Merlin is a pressurized Excalibur fitted with a different Lycoming TIGO-540 6-cylinder geared piston engine. The TIGO 540 was used despite the fact that one of the reasons the IO-720 was used in the Excalibur was that the Queen Air series' IGSO-480 and IGSO-540 engines from the same manufacturer were so troublesome.

Projected top speed was 134 mph (216 km/h). [4] Over 3,500 Excalibur cars were built, all in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. [2] The American comedian Phyllis Diller was a notable proponent of the Excalibur automobile, and owned four of them. [5] The company failed in 1986 but was revived several times. [6] Production of the Excalibur continued until ...
The 5HP is the last transmission family with serial power flow: to provide more gears, components were added. This makes these transmissions larger, heavier and even more expensive to manufacture. As the presence of 10 main components (together with brakes and clutches) in the Ravigneaux gearbox types shows, this meant the end of the ...
The 3203 was developed as a replacement for the Hirth 2706 and as a competitor to the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582.It replaced the 2706 in the Hirth line in May 2002. The engine is similar to the Rotax powerplant in being a two-cylinder in-line engine, with dual capacitor discharge ignition, although it is air-cooled, compared to the 582's liquid cooling.
